Hey there! 👋 I'm Ravindu Ramesh Perera, a passionate programmer, trainer, and all-around tech enthusiast on a mission to make the world a more innovative place. I'm that guy who can't stop thinking about the coolest new tech ideas. Whether it's coding, data science, or machine learning, I'm all in! I believe that every day is a chance to learn something new, and I take that to heart.

I studied O-Levels at Hanwella Rajasinghe Central College and A-Levels at Ananda College, Colombo 10. I graduated with a BSc (Hons) First Class Degree in Computer Science from the University of Colombo School of Computing.

I worked as a part time software engineer at The-AI.Team and worked as a software engineer at WSO2. Currently, I'm the Co-Founder & CTO of Sixthflow Research, a startup diving into AI, GIS, MedTech, IoT, and Robotics. We've launched GeoTS.io and even made it into RMIT Activator’s FoundersHUB program in Australia.

I've been a HackerRank Campus Ambassador and also a AngelHack Student Ambassador spreading the programming gospel. I introduced the micro:bit device to Sri Lanka as a volunteer at the Micro:bit Sri Lanka User Group (Micro:bit SLUG). Now, I'm on a mission with STEMUp Educational Foundation to bridge the STEM skills gap in Sri Lanka.


And my research paper on music genre classification is also will be a good read for ML and DSP enthusiastic: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-031-29956-8_26
